(Doesn't look like my previous reply was posted so here goes again ...)

Simply move the wing back 1/2" (60% 0f the change in the chord). The
plane should then balance out at the same position on the wing (50% of
chord). It still may require some more trimming because the aerodynamics
have changed but this should be a good start.
